#HappyValentinesDay !

I have to admit, I am a complete sucker for this holiday. And it's not really all about me or the presents and flowers. Don't get me wrong, I love being showered in sappy girly gifts. But, for some reason Valentine's day has the happiest effect on me. More than Christmas, more than Easter. It's almost like a shot of upbeat sugar-injected sweetness that is desperately needed this time of year when it's freezing outside and everyone is sick.
Valentine's Day means there will be red and pink stuff everywhere. I love red and pink! Along with heart-shaped sugar laden goodies all over the place. Dark chocolate. The beautiful displays everywhere you go.
This year since V-Day fell on a weekend we decided to make it a special family day. Lots of fun making heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. We made homemade baked mac and cheese for dinner, and went out for ice cream and Ben and Jerry's. We had a great day!
